Timing Belt Replacement Procedure?

[FLASHBK2]

The hard copy manuals (@ least 2001) have no colors just black print on white paper.

Duh!

The manual is for the entire car!

I copied the text from the Adobe .pdf file that showed the turbo so you would know for sure that it came from the 2003 manual.

This is not a hard to find publication. Order it from your dealer and get it in a week. Free shipping.

NOTE: Most vehicles are operated under the conditions
listed for Schedule B.

Second is Schedule “A”—NON TURBO
CHARGED ENGINES.
It is for vehicles that are not operated under any of the conditions listed under
Schedule B—ALL ENGINES.
Second is Schedule “A”—TURBO CHARGED
ENGINES. It is for vehicles that are not operated
under any of the conditions listed under Schedule
B—ALL ENGINES.
Use the schedule that best describes your driving
conditions. Where time and mileage are listed, follow
the interval that occurs first.


Here's my favorite part of the manual: page 0-13

WARNING: You can be badly injured working on or
around a motor vehicle. Do only that service work
for which you have the knowledge and the right
equipment. If you have any doubt about your ability
to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a
competent mechanic.

If your manual says to change at 120k, I would suggest doing it at 100k
I have seen to many vehicles never make it to the reccomended t-belt change interval.
You best bet is to change it every 100k, personally it scares me waiting to long. Tagging a valve can be very expensive !
Remeber that rubber stretches and rots out, even the new saturated style belts
